... Just had a thought- we have not been informed of the current location of Fluffcheep. This is a terrible travesty, because Fluffcheep.
Erskin telling Bel that he has terrible taste in men made me laugh out loud for about the first time in close to 24 hours of a very bad day. I thought you would appreciate the sincere thank you for making fantastically awful people that make people's lives better to read. <3
Bel: Do not do the thing. The thing is stupid and also dangerous. Erskin: *does the thing* Bel, you need a new strategy to get Erskin to not do the thing.
Im actually kind of losing my shit about erskin's reaction to the fluffcheep. Like, baby animals are his /thing/, and he tenderly carried this tiny egg through blizzards keeping it warm while he himself was freezing to death, it was /important/ and cloris just /erased/that, how could she take something so basic and fundamental to who erskin is away from him like that? How can he just /not care/???? I figured he was just distracted before but now hes lookig right at it and interacting and all hes doing is like "lol bel ur new lusus is stupidlooking" and it is v v upsetting to me.
Spoiler: Quote and suggestion from planning thread i cast my vote for grue flirts inappropriately, erskin is awkward, king mud makes off w erryone's buttons. also fluffcheep is there. possibly being introduced to the wonderful world of grand button larceny. buttons.
Cloris only fucked with erskin's protectiveness towards the egg, which was generated by his responsible caretaking side-- by nature, he just doesnt get warm fuzzies over, well, warm and fuzzy things. He isn't motivated by 'oh how cute' feels, he's motivated by 'this is my problem'-- a fair-minded sense of obligation towards things that need his help. See also: lowbloods. The fluffcheep falls firmly under the 'not my problem' category. If erskin were left alone with him he'd viciously defend the fluff against all dangers until bel came back. Once bel came back erskin would casually resume no longer giving a shit. I think bel's confusion stems from thinking you either have no sense of responsibility, or a properly enduring sense of responsibility? Whereas erskin is generous and considerate and protective of anything put in front of him... for about as long as it's in front of him.
